Last question on Mojiin Greenweave Breastplate ... how much does it weigh? A standard breastplate weighs 30 lbs, does this weigh more, less or the same?

Also, I was thinking of purchasing a sling. While I realize that metal is rare on Arris, I assume that we can get enough to produce sling bullets. If not, what would they use as an alternative to sling bullets?

I'll get back to you on the weight, since I'm logged in on an Athena terminal at the moment waiting for someone in the Student Centre.

As for slings, including imports, there's certainly enough metal for bullets. You could also use slingstones and just give them the same basic stats.

I think slings would be a good way to go for ranged, probably, considering the Mojiin do have those nice natural attacks (and aren't known for innovations in any case), it seems less likely that they would invent many weapons but simple ones...The Valsians do have powerjewel items, which are pretty neat but not something of which most Mojiin would approve...

Okey dokey. Done meeting with her, so now my work for the day is over. Always feels great when you finish a good day's work...at 10:30 AM...

Anyways, it weighs only half as much as a normal breastplate

That'd be 7:00 AM

That's sounds similar to some of my Navy days. Muster at 07:00 and then off for the day by 10:00 or 10:30 if there was no maintenance or other work to do. Short days are a great thing!

Well for me, I woke up at 7:00, did all the problem sets and labs that were assigned last week and due today, handed them all in at 10:00 AM, met with someone at 10:15 AM, then jogged back to my dorm by 10:30 AM

Odd question but ... do Mojiin wear clothes?

I am purchasing equipment for Abdiel, and it occured to me that seeing as they are androgynous creatures with no reproductive organs, they may not see any need to cover themselves in clothing.

Just curious.

Wasn't sure if you had seen this question.

BTW: Nice schedule ... Are you a student, faculty, grad student?

You're right. You posted the question in between when I was typing something else, and they sent me to the next page

I'm an undergrad, but its MIT, so not much work.

As for the Mojiin, some of them don't wear clothing and some of them do. Its partially based on personal preference and partially based on family customs. Mojiin do have a number of "sweet spots" along their scales that are softer and act as pleasure centres, and indeed their scales are quite soft altogether, which is why they don't have a natural armour bonus, and some families like to keep those covered, although they don't look any different than the other scales or anything.

Oh, and the Mojiin aren't necessarily androgynous, just no genitals or definitive genders. The Mojiin look at the natural world around them, and they oft compare themselves to other organisms, seeing the daughter Mojiin as budding off from Arris, the Mother. This principle causes their word for their sisters, which is genderless in their language, to take on a tone of femininity in translation, as they definitely see Arris as a female entity, as she bears children and then nourishes them with her bounty. In fact, some Mojiin venerate nature-loving female Valsians because of their ability to bear children and nourish them. However, some Mojiin have a more aggressive perspective to things, and admire the power of male animals in nature...Mojiin as a language has a third gender pronoun for Mojiin, but when they speak in other languages, they often pick between preferring to be called "He" or "She" merely because they are wise enough to realise that using "It" is subtly derogatory and demeaning to themselves, and that the subtleties such as the control of language in that way (that is, calling them "It" which brings the image of a beast or an inanimate object) make it easier for Valsians and others to see them as subhuman and not worth considering.

Sarcasm? You smart. Me no get into MIT.

I was wondering, can we use fractional base bonuses? Since Tralgs start with a level of giant, taking 3 levels of a 3/4 bab class like maybe a rogue or monk class if you have one seems like a good idea. Maybe a monkish class, something to boost will saves?
